Chapter 75: Beastmaster Hall
After a while, Wang Yu slowly drew his gaze from the sky, his heart heavy with a vague suspicion about Saitan above.
However, at that moment, he walked around the stone house and found a long tunnel leading down on the back wall, seemingly going into the mountain.
Wang Yu thought for a moment and didn’t rush to enter the tunnel; instead, he returned to the stone house to check again carefully.
As a result, he found another set of light red formal clothes on the wooden rack, noticing the two black characters ‘Zhuque’ on a corner of the clothes.
In addition, there was a bright red wooden plaque placed with the clothes.
One side of the plaque was engraved with a bright red Spirit Pattern Diagram, and on the other side, there was a large silver character that said ‘Inner’.
"inner disciples"
Wang Yu held a red wooden token in his hand and felt a strange connection to it, as if it was linked to his bloodline.
Clearly, during the time he was unconscious, not only was the Fire Spirit Skill improved, but he also received an advancement potion and became an inner disciple of Fire Bird Mountain.
There is no doubt that the one who did this is Ancestor Li Huo.
But why is this Golden Core ancestor being so kind to him?
At first, he was forced to leave this world when an enemy’s weapon’s fire invaded his body, and during that time, this body was guided by an unknown consciousness, yet it received such good treatment.
Just thinking about the meaning behind these repeated events made his hair stand on end.
Right now, there’s no way to leave immediately; he can only observe the situation and take one step at a time.
Wang Yu thought somewhat pessimistically.
Then he pulled the wooden sign close to him, walked out of the stone house, and entered the passage.
The passage was not very long; after walking over a hundred meters, he arrived in a huge stone cave.
Inside, various passages spread in all directions, each leading to other places. Fortunately, at the entrance of each passage, there was a wooden sign that showed where it led.
Wang Yu turned to look at the passage he had come from; the nearby wooden sign clearly read Inner Door One Hundred Eighteen. He then glanced at the wooden signs at the entrances of other passages; the highest number was Twenty-Six, and the lowest was One Hundred Three. His sign of One Hundred Eighteen was obviously ranked the lowest.
Just then, footsteps were heard.
A man, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, wearing a long yellow robe, walked out of a passage marked Inner Door Forty-Five.
On his shoulder rested a long-eared rabbit with bright red fur, but its front legs were unusually long and had sharp claws.
"Junior Brother Wang, what a coincidence! Since you entered the inner door, you have been in seclusion. How are you finding it here?" The man in the yellow robe showed a surprised expression when he saw Wang Yu, but immediately smiled and greeted him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern. I have been researching a new cultivation method and have neglected to visit my senior brothers." Although Wang Yu did not know the other man, he did not show any sign of discomfort and quickly returned the greeting with cupped hands.
"That’s very normal. I heard that Junior Brother has only recently developed his Spiritual Root. It is wise to choose a suitable cultivation method based on that Spiritual Root."
Although most cultivation methods at the Qi Refining Stage have similar speeds, finding a cultivation method that matches one’s Spiritual Root will help in training a little faster.
"However, when Junior Brother Wang comes out this time, he probably got the news early that a new batch of young beasts has arrived at the Spirit Beast Hall. I remember that new inner disciples have a chance to claim one for free." The man in the yellow shirt nodded and then suddenly smiled strangely.
"Spirit Beast Hall? Claiming chance?" Wang Yu paused in surprise.
"What’s wrong? Does Junior Brother Wang really not know? It seems the elder who admitted you was careless."
"According to our rules, all new inner disciples have a free chance to choose a spirit beast in the first three months. Our Four Elephant Gate is famous for the Beast Control Technique. Inner disciples without a spirit beast will be laughed at by other sects." The man in the yellow shirt seemed a bit surprised and then explained.
"I see, but I don’t know where the Spirit Beast Hall is. I want to go and take a look." Wang Yu felt very interested after hearing this.
After all, whether it’s Yin Linglong’s ghost dog or the bone python he saw when he was chased in Guangyuan District, he has admired them greatly.
"Just right, I also need to go to the Spirit Beast Hall to take care of some matters. Let’s go together," said the man in the yellow shirt without thinking.
Wang Yu naturally agreed at once.
…
After a while, Wang Yu and the other person appeared in a grand hall halfway up the mountain.
The hall was quiet, and apart from a few tables, it seemed empty.
However, the man in the yellow shirt casually knocked on a tall, golden bell hanging in the hall.
Soon after, a grumbling old man came out from behind the hall.
"Zhou Chu, it’s you again, you little rascal. Didn’t I tell you? Your Long-armed Rabbit isn’t eating well because it’s about to evolve. Just let it consume some fire-element spirit materials, and it will be fine," the old man said, his eyebrows white as snow, wearing a loose robe, showing no kindness as he spoke to the man in the yellow shirt.
"Martial Uncle Li, you know that fire-element spirit materials are being sold at sky-high prices now. How can I buy them with this little spirit stone? If not, could you continue to sell me some fire-element beast food at a cheap price?" the man in the yellow shirt complained, shamelessly speaking to the old man.
"Fire-element beast food has also not been produced much lately. How much do you want to buy?" The old man seemed unable to deal with the man in the yellow shirt and could only ask sternly.
"Please give me thirty pounds first. Ever since I raised my spirit beast, I feel like I’ve become a poor wretch." Martial Brother Zhou muttered as he pulled out about ten spirit stones from his pocket and handed them to the old man.
"Wait for me a moment." The old man turned and left, and when he returned to the front hall, he had a small, bulging bag in his hand.
"By the way, Martial Uncle Li, this is our new inner sect Junior Brother Wang from Fire Bird Mountain. He is here to use his free spot." Zhou Chu said happily as he took the bag and pointed to Wang Yu, speaking to the old man.
"You are the one the ancestor personally named to enter the inner sect of Fire Bird Mountain?" Martial Uncle Li said with surprise, looking Wang Yu up and down with a strange expression.
"If the ancestor has not allowed anyone else to enter the inner sect recently, then it should indeed be me." Wang Yu replied respectfully with a cupped fist.
The person could manage a place like Spirit Beast Hall and was also called Martial Uncle by Zhou Chu, so he must be a great practitioner of Foundation Establishment.
"With just the early stage of the Qi Refining Stage, what spirit beast can you possibly take care of? But since this is the rule, follow me." The old man shook his head reluctantly after a pause but still motioned for Wang Yu to walk with him.
Zhou Chu followed closely behind, eager to join in.
"The Beast Control Technique is the foundational method of our Four Elephant Gate. Many years ago, our founding ancestor defeated three powerful opponents at the late Golden Core stage with a fully matured Golden Core cloud dragon. That’s how we laid the foundation of our sect here in Tongzhou City. While others can only fight one-on-one, our Four Elephant Gate can manage two-on-one or even three-on-one. How can we not win?" Martial Uncle Li said proudly as he led Wang Yu and Zhou Chu out of the front hall and into a long corridor.
"But Martial Uncle, those who don’t learn the Beast Control Technique only keep the resources for themselves. We have to split the resources into two or three parts. Why aren’t you saying anything about this?" Zhou Chu replied with an eye roll.
"What do you understand? You young ones have not grasped the essence of the Beast Control Technique at all," the old man snorted, looking very disdainful.
